[PATCH v7 28/33] refs: register ref storage backends

[David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>]

Add new function register_ref_storage_backends().  This new function
registers all known ref storage backends... once there are any other
than the default.  For now, it just registers the files backend.

Call the function before calling set_ref_storage_backend.
